Sherri Shepherd to Join ‘Cinderella’ After Leaving ‘The View’

Sherri Shepherd will have a second act following her departure from “The View.”

The soon-to-be-former co-host of the ABC daytime show will play the wicked stepmother in “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella” alongside the theater’s newest Broadway princess Keke Palmer. It was recently announced that Palmer would become the first black Cinderella on Broadway more than 15 years after singer Brandy Norwood played the role on the small screen.
